Even though the divorce papers will say that doesnt mean you have to abid by it…I know with my ex only way its forced is if you took him for child support and forced it…You can work together and do it your way…
Don’t ask for it or put it in the divorce deed under custody w.e u decide then put down both parents will financially be responsible for the kids at their homes and 50/50 for things out side of home like school, activities, doctor’s bills
You can usually go through the court. Our agreement was no child support but I claim her yearly and he covers insurance. We have 50/50 decisions making and I have 100 physical
In Oregon, you don’t have to have a support file in place if there’s no government assistance. If you receive or start to receive, there’s no choice, they take it from him regardless of your wishes. But you can just say you have a plan set up between you and judge will okay it. At least that’s how it is here. I know tons of women who have stopped support or wiped out past support.
You should ask your local family court office for free, so you’re within the laws of your state/city/county.
Best of luck
Some states it is mandatory that the noncustodial parent pays child support and it is imposed through an enforcement bureau. There is no choice. So if you don’t want it, give it back to him.
Don’t file for it. I do know some places if you need government help they make you file it to get help
I don’t know what state you’re in, but in Florida it doesn’t matter if you’re requesting support or not, whoever makes more money has to pay the other parent regardless of 50/50 custody. It really will depend on your state, so I would probably consult with a lawyer just to know your states rules.
If you do shared parenting then they wont issue child support
If your getting any kind of public assistance you have no choice

Joint custody no child support from either parent
Just work out an arrangement prior to the court date and place that in the agreement.

Suggest recommending a nominal fee for him to pay. Things may change in the future and you may need to request an i crease.
In NC unless u recieve gov assistance you don’t have to file for child support.
File 50/50 custody tell them you don’t want support
I told judge I didn’t want it. Judge put it in anyway. Ex never paid and I didn’t pursue it.
I told the judge I didn’t want it because I could support the children with no financial support from their dad. The judge agreed and no support was ordered.
In WI, even if you have joint custody, they still figure the amount at the final hearing and you have to decline it. With good reason.

Cant you work it out. You both sound considerate and have an amicable parenting relationship (so nice to see), can it not be worked out without lawyers.
As long as neither of you end up on welfare it will work. If it is ordered it is not illegal to give it back to him.

In texas you can file for it and set it for 0. That way the other person can’t decide to be shadey a couple years later and sue for back child support. But you can change it for more if you decide to later.

PLEASE don’t cancel
You could just give him the $ back, then you have control of the situation.
Once you stop child support you can’t go back Or it’s very hard.
Unsure how old your child is but I HIGHLY suggest you NOT stop the order.
You seem to get along now but…

As long as u both agree put whatever u want in a divorce
I had to sign a form that the courthouse provided to sign off on not wanting child support after I explained the same situation to the clerk of court. Not sure if it varies from state to state but wouldn’t hurt to ask around and see the options!
Don’t file for it. It doesn’t go hand in hand.

We put that he will pay me directly a certain amount every month in our divorce paperwork. He helps when I ask and we work together. I’m in South Carolina
Shared 50% custody of all children
If the State never gets invoves you can or should be able to set up your own thing.
You don’t have to open a support case, unless you are on public assistance.
Me and my ex in court just said we don’t want either parent to ever pay child support. If the parent ends up with both kids. That is on them to provide for the child. Me and my ex wife actually talked about it before we had kids. If u wanna be greedy and have both kids then u should pay for it. My ex and me had a fall out 2 years ago and she’s been keeping the kids from me. She wants child support now because she’s being snakey as fuck and is now only in it for the baby bonus and disability money. It’s sad af and I hope u guys just work it out civilized like because this is just mental. The judge told me I don’t have to pay. So I’m good anyways but I hate that govs made child support a thing makes for some greedy heart stealing mothers and fathers. Cause dads do this too it’s mental
